“…Fifth, piety is examined from the landscape of Islamic political disciplines (Adrain, 2008;Barendregt, 2011b;Bryner, 2013;Douglass Sullivan-Gonzalez, 1998;Hasan, 2009Hasan, , 2012Liow, 2009;Nasir et al, 2010;Raqib, 2020;Talmon-Heller, 2007;Turner, 2008). The revival of Islam in Indonesia is marked by an emphasis on religious symbolism as a new mode of piety, such as the hijab, veil, Islamic banking, halal tourism, and other consumer products labeled syar'i (Hasan, 2009, p. 247).…”

This study aims to describe the manifestation of piety constructed by women who are members of the Muslimah Ummahat Sholihah Community. Also, to analyze the level of their religious behavior. This research is a qualitative descriptive study that emphasizes field research. Researchers used observation techniques, interviews, questionnaires, and documentation to collect data. It turns out that the manifestation of women's piety is manifested by being obedient to the commands of Allah and His Messenger through the intermediary of teachers, covering their genitals and wearing the hijab, obeying their husbands, balancing ritual worship with social activities, and participating in religious activities. Meanwhile, the level of religious behavior of members of the Muslimah Ummahat Sholihah Community based on the results of the distribution of the questionnaire is categorized as high. Thus, the symbol of piety that they carry has absolutely nothing to do with conservatism, even radicalism, as some observers have alleged.

“…Moreover, in 2013, the secular and progressive youth forces organized a massive movement at Shahbag Square, Dhaka called “Shahbag Movement” demanding capital punishment for the Jamaat leaders accused of war crimes. The Shahbag Movement began moments after the ICT sentenced a Jamaat leader (Abdul Kader Molla) to life imprisonment instead of death (Raqib, 2020). Soon after the protests, his punishment was revised to a death sentence (De, 2015).…”

The Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami (BJI) is the largest Islamist Party in Bangladesh. It was founded in 1941 in British-India, by Maulana Mawdudi, a prominent South Asian Islamist leader. The BJI has undergone political vicissitudes during its eight-decade-long political history. The most notable political success of the Party was to have a couple of cabinet positions as a coalition partner in the Nationalist–Islamist Government between 2001 and 2006. Since the beginning of the 2010s, the Party has been in severe crisis: most of its national leaders were convicted of war crimes and put to death in the period 2011–2016. This article aims to examine the BJI’s growth and development and role in political Islam in Bangladesh. It also explores the challenges to, and responses of, the Party and their sociopolitical implications for the future of political Islam in Bangladesh. The methodology of the article is a critical analysis based on an exhaustive review of published secondary literature about the Party. The author argues that the BJI has generated a massive Islamic movement and made an enormous contribution to political Islam in Bangladesh. Yet it has failed to reform its almost-century-old organizational structure and modus operandi and effectively respond to the changed social and political contexts of Bangladesh, which has affected its organizational mobility and success.

“…Throughout history, Islamic education has played a crucial role in promoting knowledge, academic endeavors, and cultural progress in several areas including science, mathematics, literature, and philosophy (Al-Otaibi, 1997;Muborakshoeva, 2012). The conventional madrasa system, in addition to modern Islamic educational institutions, serves a vital role in safeguarding and disseminating Islamic principles, ethics, and knowledge to future generations (Amzat, 2022;Musharraf, 2015;Raqib, 2020).…”
